First sentence:
"He stood in the cold outside and to the hinge side of the door so other people could move past him."
Description:
"John Moon was 25, good-looking, intelligent, gifted, and beginning to make his mark as a poet. Leda Milan was a talented and ambitious young actress. They met and were drawn to each other. But there was a barrier between them. Leda could see and hear. John could not.
Nobody ever said that love was easy -- or what a special kind of wonderful it could be. . ." -- from the back cover
My thoughts:
I liked this book about people trying to communicate. John, Leda, his family, co-workers - all make mistakes and assumptions about what others are trying to say. Yet even with problems, friendships are formed.
